\u2019n Geliefde onderwyser van Orchard Prim\u00eare Skool is Sondag in \u2019n motorongeluk dood. <\/p>\n
Mervin Hendricks (58) was meer as 30 jaar \u2019n onderwyser by die skool. Hy was ook die departementshoof vir die senior fase. Die skool se hoof, John Harmse, en Hendricks ken mekaar al sedert hulle op ho\u00ebrskool was. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns paadjies het vir \u2019n ruk geskei, maar twaalf jaar gelede, toe ek as hoof by Orchard begin het, het dit weer gekruis. Ons het ook die afgelope twaalf jaar elke oggend saam werk toe gery,\u201d verduidelik Harmse. <\/p>\n
Hy noem ook dat Hendricks een van die mees toegewyde onderwysers was.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy het altyd sy hand opgesteek om verdere kennis op te bou. Hy het seker gemaak hy beskik oor die nuutste inligting oor sy vakke. Hy was baie passievol. Hy was soos \u2019n jong onderwyser \u2013 altyd vol ywer. Hy het altyd die ekstra myl vir die kinders gestap.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hendricks was ook verantwoordelik om die uitstappies by die skool te re\u00ebl.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy het elke jaar die uitstappie na Potberg beplan. Hy was gaande daaroor om die kinders ander perspektief van die lewe te leer; om hulle te wys daar is \u2019n w\u00eareld anderkant die Vallei. Hy wou altyd hul visie verbreed en hul mens\u00adwaar\u00ad\u00addigheid herstel. Ons skool en ons gemeenskap is armer sonder hom.\u201d <\/p>\n
Behalwe dat die twee kollegas was, was hulle ook baie goeie vriende.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy die skool was hy my go-to<\/span>-persoon. Ons kon ons probleme met mekaar deel. Hy het altyd sy beste in die lewe gedoen \u2013 in elke aspek van sy lewe. Hy was \u2019n baie gebalanseerde mens. Hy was ook \u2019n mense-mens en het met almal oor die weg gekom; altyd tyd gehad vir \u2019n grappie.\u201d <\/p>\n Die ongeluk het Sondagaand om 20:05 op die Aan de Doorns pad oorkant die begraafplaas gebeur toe \u2019n swart Opel- bakkie en \u2019n Toyota trompop gebots het.<\/p>\n \u201cPolisiebeamptes was toevallig besig om op daardie pad patrollie te doen toe hulle op die ongeluk afgekom het. Die Toyota, met drie insittendes, het in die rigting van Johnsonspark gery, en die bakkie was in die teenoorgestelde rigting op pad,\u201d verduidelik AO Vathiswa Jacobs, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Worcester-polisie.<\/p>\n Sy verduidelik verder dat die swart bakkie, waarin Hendricks gery het, glo in die middel van die pad gery het.<\/p>\n \u201cDie man wat die Toyota bestuur het, het probeer om meer na die kant van sy baan te ry om \u2019n ongeluk te verhoed, maar die bakkie het toe reg van voor teen hom gebots. <\/p>\n \u201cDis nie te s\u00ea die bestuurder was onder die invloed van alkohol nie; \u2019n volledige ondersoek moet eers gedoen word. <\/p>\n \u201cMet die polisie se aankoms op die toneel het Hendricks agter die stuurwiel van die bakkie vasgesit en hy was bewusteloos. <\/p>\n \u201cDie polisiebeamptes het na die Toyota se insittendes gaan kyk en hulle het almal geringe en ligte beserings opgedoen. <\/p>\n \u201cDie bestuurder, sy dogter en sy kleindogter het almal behandeling vir die beserings ontvang. Met die ambulans se aankoms op die toneel het hulle Hendricks egter dood verklaar.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Geliefde onderwyser van Orchard Prim\u00eare Skool
